1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

<p>Introduction: MiRNAs play important roles in development of various cancers including gastric cancer. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles for translocating molecules. This study aimed to investigate the tumor suppressive roles of miR-379-5p in gastric cancer and to investigate the roles of exosomes in transporting miR-379-5p from intracellular to extracellular.

methodsFifty-three pairs of gastric cancer and non-tumor tissue samples were collected. Five cell lines were applied. Functional assays including cell proliferation, cell migration and invasion, and cell adhesion assay were performed. Targets of miR-379-5p were screened and validated by Western blot. Expressions of endogenous miR-379-5p in gastric cancer cells and exosomal miR-379-5p in cell culture medium were evaluated by RT-qPCR. Medium of culturing AGS or BCG23 was applied for culturing MKN45 and HEK293T.

resultsThe results indicated that miR-379-5p was significantly downregulated in gastric cancer tissue samples and cell lines. Enforced expression of miR-379-5p inhibited gastric cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, while miR-379-5p mimic enhanced cell adhesion to extracellular matrix. IGF1R was a potential target of miR-379-5p in gastric cancer. Expression of miR-379-5p was dramatically higher in exosomes in cell culture medium than its endogenous expression. Exosomes from cell culture medium of AGS or BCG23 could regulate endogenous expression of miR-379-5p in HEK293T cells.

conclusionsMiR-379-5p was significantly downregulated and it functioned as a tumor suppressor in gastric cancer. MiR-379-5p was highly expressed in exosomes of culture medium than its endogenous expression. MiR-379-5p could be translocated from cells into cell culture medium and entered certain cell types via exosomes. </p>.
